I love that the LACMA tumblr team picked up on my love for the Qajars.

lacma asked:
Come see the Shadi Ghadirian "Qajar Series" installation if you haven't already! It's small - just about 10 images or so, on the 4th floor of the Ahmanson Building right when you come out of the elevators. I can't add links in Tumblr's "ask" format - but go to our website, click on "Art", then "Installations," then scroll down to the show's listing. Best - Scott

I have!! For all those who haven’t yet, you MUST check out LACMA’s [super cool] exhibit with Shadi Ghadirian’s work.
Thanks Scott!!
This is on view right now.Edit: This goes on view June 2. I [still] felt it was important to let you know.Siamak Filizadeh, Untitled from the Rostam 2 series, 2009, purchased with funds provided by the Karl Loring Trust and Art of the Middle East CONTEMPORARY, © Siamak Filizadeh
REASONS WHY LACMA IS MY FAVORITE MUSEUM.
PS Rostam is totally sporting a semi-Qajar semi-Irangeles look in this picture.
